Now machine learning is playing a role in reinventing the science of databases. Deep Engine from Deep Information Sciences “is an adaptive database kernel and information orchestration system that leverages machine learning to completely transform how scalability and performance are achieved,” says chief strategy officer Chad Jones.

The company is focusing on enhancing the open source MySQL database and the Percona Server database platforms, but the principles upon which it works are translatable to – and will be translated to – unstructured data and NoSQL database systems.

Machine learning predicts and adapts based on what comes into the system, which translates to comprehensive analytics in real time.
